I agree with you in theory, but the following example from the Psalms
would illustrate the proper word order in such a construct chain:

a b c c b a
(Psalm 48) the mountain of the holiness of him = His holy mountain

a b c c b a
(Hebrews) the word of the power of him = his powerful word

a b c c b a
the praise of the glory of the grace of him = praise of his gracious
glory
